    I love a good baked spaghetti with a generous amount of melted ooey gooey cheese and rich meat sauce. It is such comfort food!

    I also love a good TikTok food trend and this Million Dollar Spaghetti has blown up my For You page. I knew I had to try it.

    It was the perfect baked spaghetti recipe and the addition of homemade alfredo sauce just put it over the top for me. 

    I have also shared the famous Boursin Cheese TikTok Pasta, the TikTok Cinnamon Rolls, and the famous TikTok Butter Board.

    FAQ:

    What type of ground beef should I use?

    I suggest using lean ground beef, which is 80-85% lean. If there is any grease, drain it or soak it up with a paper towel before adding the marinara sauce.

    What jarred marinara sauce should I use?

    The most popular marinara sauce on the market is Rao's marinara sauce. You can find it for much cheaper in a 2-pack at Costco. It is the best tasting marinara sauce available at the grocery store. I also suggest Carbone's marinara sauce. 

    Do I have to make homemade alfredo sauce?

    Since my homemade alfredo sauce recipe only calls for 4 ingredients, I suggest making it from scratch, because it makes all of the difference.

    How to make TikTok Million Dollar Spaghetti:

    Step #1: Start by sauteeing the onions until they start to become softened. Add in the ground beef and saute until browned. Then add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Drain any excess grease or blot with a paper towel before adding the marinara sauce.

    Step #2: Heat a large pot of water over high heat until boiling. Generously salt the water. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions.

    Step #3: Make the homemade alfredo sauce by melting the butter in a pot, add the heavy cream and seasonings and 2 cups of parmesan cheese, only ½ cup at a time. Cook until it starts to thicken and bubble, about 3-5 minutes.

    Step #4: In a 9 x 13 baking dish, toss the cooked spaghetti noodles with the alfredo sauce, then layer on the meat sauce, and then top with freshly grated mozzarella cheese. Bake until bubbly, about 20 minutes.

      This was an absolute hit with my family! My husband proclaimed it to be even better than his favorite baked spaghetti order from the now closed Tucci Benuch restaurant at the Mall of America. Wowsa, that is high praise! I made as instructed with one minor addition. I was shy 1/2 cup of parm, so I added 4 oz of cream cheese. Totally acceptable. Rich and savory and satisfying were the words used. I personally eat gf, so I made a separate casserole for myself using spaghetti squash. It was fantastic! I did not even miss the pasta! Quick observation tho. The pictures accompanying the recipe depict the noodles mixed in with the meat sauce. My understanding is that the noodles are tossed with the Alfredo sauce and the meat sauce is “layered on top.” Just curious. I’ll make it again for sure regardless of the execution!
